Statement:

I am a constitutionalist who believes in the sovereignty of the individual. It is God who grants us our rights, not the government. Over forty years ago, I suffered from migraine headaches so severe that I became totally disabled. No doctor could figure out the cause for my headaches. Living on a couch, a bed, and walking the floor for two years was tough. On December 24, 2020, I prayed this prayer, “Father, I don’t want to live this life any longer but whatever you want me to do, where ever you want me to go I will be your faithful servant.” Well God showed up and stated three things 1. I will break your headaches. 2. I will restore your health. 3. I will send you to congress to represent my people.
Since 12/24/20, I have not had a headache, and I have had them for over forty years. As the only congressional candidate running in Arizona, I worked the audit and walked six to eight hours a day for six weeks to get my signatures. All that’s left is for you to vote for me to send me to congress to represent you and God.

Question Response Comments/Notes
1. Securing the border by blocking crossings from undocumented migrants. S* A nation without borders is not a nation. We need to build the walk and vet out every person who wants to come into our Great Country.
2. Prohibiting abortion except when it is necessary to prevent the death of the mother. S* I believe that the rights of a person begins at conception. 100% to the people that are walking around the world were at one time conceived. The rights of the unborn should be protected.
3. Appointing federal judges who will interpret the U.S. Constitution in light of current times, rather than according to the framers’ original intent or text. O* Federal judges should only interpret our laws based on the U.S. Constitution as our founding fathers' originally intent. The sovereignty of the individual should be above all. For example, the second amendment gives us the right to bear arms and that it shall not be infringed on. We have to have judges that will protect the individual rights over the government rights.
4. Adding “sexual orientation,” “gender identity,” and “gender expression” to the protected classes of race, religion, age, sex, and ancestry in nondiscrimination law. O* No one should suffer from discrimination for any reason.
5. Enacting a federal tax credit program allowing taxpayers to direct a portion of their tax dollars to provide educational options such as private or homeschools. S* I am for school choice, if a public school is not providing a good education for the children. The parents have the right to pull their child out of that school and place them where they feel that the child will get the best education. The money from that public school should then be pulled and follow that child. It is the right of the parents to decide what is best for their children and not the schools.
6. Amending the U.S. Constitution to require Congress to balance the federal budget every year. S* Government needs to be reeled in and stop spending money that we don't have. This government sends billions of money to other countries, instead of spending it on the American citizens. This needs to be stopped!
7. Providing any direct or indirect federal funding to Planned Parenthood and other entities that provide abortions. O* No federal funding should ever be sent to Planned Parenthood.
8. Expanding background checks to include guns purchased from private individuals. O* Every citizen has the right to protect themselves and their families as they see fit.
9. Protecting individuals and businesses from being required to provide services or use their artistic expression in a manner that violates their moral or religious beliefs. S* If a person or business is asked to do something that goes against their moral and religious beliefs then they have the right to refuse to preform that service.
10. Passing either the Freedom to Vote Act or the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to federalize election laws. O* We have 50 elections to elect a President, federalizing the elections would go against the founding fathers intent of the electoral college voting system. Each states needs to have an equal say in what goes on this the country. If it was not the case then California and New York would vote and control the rest of the nation. Both states are failing in every way, so I am glad that we have checks and balances.
11. Eliminating the filibuster rule requiring 60 votes in the U.S. Senate to move most legislation. O* The filibuster was formed in order for the minority leadership to slow down or even stop a bill that is not in the best interests of the country. The filibuster should never be done away with.
12. Regulating social media platforms as providers of information comparable to broadcast news. S* We have seen the mainstream media be completely out of control. Regulations of propaganda and just lying to the America public should be met with consequences. Free speech should always be protected but Free lies should have consequences.
